A roof-penetrating structure for incorporating into a roof, the structure including a portion extending along one or more sides of the roof-penetrating structure for receiving an edge section of one or more sheets of flashing to provide a weather-proof connection therebetween;
- said portion including one or more resilient members such that, in use, the insertion of flashing into said portion automatically forces at least one of said one or more resilient members into a configuration in which they are biased against the flashing.
A kit comprising a roof-penetrating structure for incorporating into a roof and one or more sheets of flashing, the structure including a portion extending along one or more sides of the roof-penetrating structure for receiving an edge section of said one or more sheets of flashing to provide a weather-proof connection therebetween;
- said portion including one or more resilient members such that, in use, the insertion of flashing into said portion automatically forces at least one of said one or more resilient members into a configuration in which they are biased against the flashing.
A sheet of flashing for incorporating a roof-penetrating structure in a roof, said sheet of flashing including an edge section for inserting into a receiving portion of a roof-penetrating structure to provide a weather-proof connection therebetween;
- said edge section of said sheet of flashing being provided with one or more resilient members such that, in use, the insertion of the sheet of flashing into said receiving portion of said roof-penetrating structure automatically forces at least one of said one or more resilient members into a configuration in which they are biased against the receiving portion.
A kit comprising a roof penetrating structure and one or more sheets of flashing for incorporating said roof-penetrating structure in a roof, said one or more sheets of flashing including an edge section for inserting into a receiving portion of a roof-penetrating structure to provide a weather-proof connection therebetween;
- said edge section being provided with one or more resilient members such that, in use, the insertion of said one or more sheets of flashing into said receiving portion of said roof-penetrating structure automatically forces at least one of said one or more resilient members into a configuration in which they are biased against the receiving portion.
